Bugs in soil...

Completely new to this, so bear with me...

Took a few of a friend's plants, as he was calling it quits... 5 plants total. About a month later, one of the smaller of the five has exposed roots and bugs running around in it's soil. Asked him about it, he gave me a solution he was using to kill them. Used it, and about four days later they came back, so I think it didn't kill the eggs... But anyway, I tossed that plant.

Now about another month later, the biggest of the remaining 4 is in my flowering chamber. My roommate, who occasionally will peak in on the garden, says he saw bugs running around in it's soil. It has been separated from the others in my flowering chamber just in case, and I haven't actually seen any bugs in there... so I don't have any pictures. The soil isn't disappearing, I can't see roots yet but figured I'd make a post and get some heads turned while I try to get pics of the bastards if they are there...

Be back shortly!

whatever it is do a Neem oil drench, use the same directions as the bottle says for foliar ie amounts per gallon.

you can do a 5% bleach drench on soil also.

good luck bro, Puff on

I've seen some garlic powder take care of a bug problem before. Just some on the surface, didn't see bugs much after that!
